Skate with the Aces

After Sunday night hockey games, the Aces open up the ice for kids to skate with the Aces (hence the name of the event). After Kira's experience out at Westchester Lagoon, she was begging for more practice before her school had a Skate-a-thon to raise money for PTA. Devon had told me about Skate with the Aces, so I asked if they could take Kira after church on Sunday night. She went and had a great time. the second time she went Phoenix realized what we were doing and he kept asking, "Phoenix skate? Where Phoenix skate?" So I think that next time there is a Sunday game, Uncle Paul and his friend Bud might brave the ice with two kids. (Phoenix takes a lot of help because he is so young.)

Kira, uncle Paul, and Jacob (no relation although he does look somewhat like Phoenix) pose for a quick picture at the beginning of Skate with the Aces.
